“What I try to do is always get the newest, funniest people in anything...” — Allison Jones Quote

What I try to do is always get the newest, funniest people in anything.

Stand-ups are always good to see on YouTube. There's a guy named Mike Head who lives in Cleveland. He's great. He's an African-American stand-up.

I have found that so many directors and producers in the room say nothing, and this can be deadly. It's very difficult to audition for comedy in the vacuum of a small room, but it's the only way most do it.

I don't ever take credit for discovering anybody, except for McLovin on 'Superbad'.

The legwork is always hard. Really finding people that you think are good enough. Just the definition of what we have to do is finding good enough people that you really think are special.

My brother was an improviser. He's now a lobbyist, but he used to perform improv in the city when he was in high school, and one of the funniest guys I know to this day.

Some of the funniest people I know are not screwed up in the head.

You learn, even at 'S.N.L.,' that the funniest scripts a lot of the time were written with the actor, because they know what makes people laugh. It's always going to be better if they own it.

We Germans should know that we're good at constructing cars, and we have a lot of good qualities. But we're not the funniest.

I just wanted to make the stupidest, funniest thing possible. My version of Mary Todd Lincoln is basically just me.
